PROJECT DETAILS
Project Title Block level implementation of Torpedo sub-system
Institution Name RV-VLSI Design Center
Project Description  Technology node : 180nm
 Macros : 32
 Standard cells : 43,234
 Clocks : 5 (3 Propagated, 2 generated)
 Operating frequency : 400MHz
 Operating voltage : 1.8V
 Max IR Drop : (Vdd+Vss) 5% of Operating Voltage (90mV)
 Power budget : 300mW
 Metal layers: 6
Tools Used  Synopsys IC Compiler for complete PD flow
 Synopsys Prime Time for STA
Challenges  Creating a floor-plan, keeping in mind its effects on further
steps.
 Adjusting power straps to fix various bugs.
 Fixing various violations, using automation and not manually.
 Finding a common source for several violations.
Project Title Static Timing Analysis (STA) on block level design
Institution Name RV-VLSI Design Center
Project Description Performed and the STA on various test cases of both Flip-flops and
latches which comprise of setup and hold timing reports and there by
understanding the Slack.
Tools Used Synopsys Prime Time
Challenges  Generating correct reports for OCV, MCMM and Xtalk, and
fixing violated paths such that it doesn’t cause more violations.
 Fixing hold violation without causing a setup violation or vice
versa.
 Understanding latch based designs and fixing violations using
concept of borrowed time.

3. Project Title Automation using TCL scripting
Institution Name RV-VLSI Design Center
Project Description Automated various manual and tool driven processes using TCL
scripting to make chip designing faster
Tools Used TCL scripting
Challenges  Extracting the necessary information from reports to fix
violations.
 Faced few challenges with files and regular expression.
 Writing a completely automated script which works on many
designs and not just the current design.
Project Name Synchronous Distributed Clocking System
Institution Name College of Engineering Poonjar
Project Description The development of an ARM microcontroller based digital clock that
has the combined feature of a real time clock (RTC) and a global
system for mobile communication (GSM). We can achieve time
synchronization among all clocks positioned in different places and
also send message to all the clocks by simply writing in the central
system. The central clock automatically sends the messages to all
other clocks. We also provide a belling system so that it rings the bell
in a time as we set.
Tools Used Hardware : Microcontroller (ARM LPC2148), LCD with Driver,
Electric bell with relay, Crystal
oscillator, RTC ,GSM, MAX 232, Regulated Power Supply
Software : Keil embedded development tool, proteus
Challenges  Since we required a communication medium for data
transmission and reception for the clocks without having any
range limit , we ended up by choosing GSM instead of RF
transmitter or Zigbee Module.
Project Name Accident zone Detecting System for Vehicles
Institution Name Govt. Polytechnic College Palakkad
Project Description The main objective of this project is to help the person who met an
vehicle accident. By the help of GPS and GSM, this model can track
the specific location of accident and send this attribute to the nearest
hospital and police station.
Tools Used Hardware: PIC Microcontroler, Emergency switch, Vibrating sensor,
Ignition off controller, Switch selector, GPS, GSM, LCD
Software: MP Lab Simulator, Proteus
Challenges  While the vehicle met an accident, there is a chances of fire
hazards due to some spark, this is solved providing the Ignition
off controller in the fuel reservoir.
 To make nearby people get to know about the accident, we
provide a buzzer so that it will rings the bell when the vibrating
sensor senses a vibration above the normal level
 .While met an accident, there will be chances of passenger fall
away, this problem is solved by tightens the side belt if the
vibrating sensor is ON
